Representing
Persons with Mental Disabilities
One barrier to the effective
representations of persons with
mental disabilities may be the
lawyers’ reactions to
their clients. During the initial
client interview, if it becomes
apparent that the person has
a mental disability or the client
discloses that fact, you should
take the opportunity to learn
as much about the client’s
impairment as necessary to aid
in communications with the client
and representation of his or
her legal interests and assess
the client’s mental capacity.

Innkeeper
Liability
Innkeepers are held to the highest
standard of care of all landlords.
When a guest at a hotel or motel
is the victim of a crime, the
landowner is confronted with
a very difficult lawsuit. Aside
from the elevated standard of
care issue, there is something
inherently frightening about
crimes committed in a hotel
or motel. Jurors can easily
relate to this scenario, and
the defense should expect that
jurors will have little tolerance
for crimes committed in hotels
or motels.

the Transsexual and Transgender
Client
Representing transsexual and
transgender clients in cases
involving their transgender

This area of the law is too
often grounded in prejudice
and fear rather than sound legal
and scientific analysis. Lawyers
representing transsexuals will
find themselves serving as educators
as much as advocates.

Is
E-mail a Public Record?
Laws governing access to public
records were adopted well before
the computer became a pervasive
part of the daily functioning
of government and in an age
when the defining line between
government and private entities
was more brightly defined. One
question that has come to face
state governments is “Is
e-mail a public record?”.
